Keyboard shortcut to change stroke width (or object width)?

[Figmatt]

Is there a keyboard shortcut to change stroke width (or object width)?

Or a way to bind my own key to this action?

Or a way to automate it?

This would be a huge time saver for me.

Stroke width:

[ to multiply by 0.9

] to divide by 0.9 (in other words, multiply by 1.111...)

Shift+[ to subtract 1 pixel regardless of stroke unit of measurement

Shift+] to add 1 pixel regardless of stroke unit of measurement

See the "Operations shortcuts" overview under ...

• ADe Keyboard Shortcuts
• ADe Customising keyboard shortcuts
• ... etc.

Amazing, thanks both. 

I had looked at the help file but obviously not close enough! #ADHD

I've also set up a Keyboard Maestro shortcut on the = key to click Stroke panel then the Width text field ...for when i want to enter the value manually.

I don't think that's doable within the app itself?

To some lesser degree ...

Correct. There is no way to combine 2 shortcuts like that. However, if you have a mouse with a wheel you can change the stroke width (or height) in the panel by just placing the pointer over the field & using the wheel to change the value. The alt/option & shift keys change the increment/decrement steps.

 Note that in V2 of the app this is in the Window menu, not the View menu.

That toggles the panel so if I press it when it is visible it hides it, whereas my intention is to focus it.

Hmm, maybe I switched this off. I have a Mighty Mouse so it's rather touch sensitive, I definitely had to switch off Rotate Canvas.

Anyway, task done! Much quicker thanks to this thread.

Detach the panel so it's floating and keep it that way, when it's toggled on it should have the focus then! - For everything else, that's why I already wrote "... to some lesser degree"!

Sadly I do not get along with floating panels, I end up forever organising them. I'm on team #docked
